Plastic in the Ocean

Introduction	-Plastic explanation -The explanation of the problem -Thesis statement: The world’s oceans are filling up with waste plastics which is bad because it creates some problems.
Problems	- Many lives are in danger - Water pollution
Solutions	- Reduce the use of plastic bags - Use bio degradable plastics
Conclusion	Plastics pollute our oceans and give some problems if nothing is done. But there are solutions for this problem. There are still things that we can do. And it’s up to us humans to solve this problem and make a better life for ourselves, other creatures, and oceans.

Plastic is used for many things in our life. It is used as a material for bags, packages, bottles, etc. Because of the common use of plastic, we can find plastic everywhere, and often in the form of trash. Plastic trash can be found in many places, including oceans. And not only plastics from human daily use can end up in the oceans, but also from industries and manufactures that can throw their plastic waste to the oceans as it’s easier to dispose that much of wastes just by simply throwing it somewhere else. The world’s oceans are filling up with waste plastics which is bad because it creates some problems.

The first problem created by this phenomenon is that many lives are in danger. Waste plastics in the sea can be eaten by animals like fish, crabs, shrimps, etc. Those waste plastics are obviously not good for those animals as they can kill them if the consumption level is high. Birds can also die if they are tricked by those plastics because of their bright colours. When they eat those plastics, they can die from suffocation. Another problem is water pollution. Oceans are getting more polluted if this problem are not solved. This is because the degradation time of plastics can take up to 1000 years, which makes it safe to say that if plastics end up in the ocean, they don’t degrade by themselves and pollute the water for the next 1000 years.

One way to address this problem is to reduce the use of plastic bags. We can do it by bringing our fabric bags when we shop or go somewhere and we need to bring our stuffs. The idea is to decrease our plastic use as low as possible so there will be less waste plastics. Another way is to use bio degradable plastics. This type of plastic takes shorter time to degrade, which is good for nature and oceans. This means that even if those plastics end up in oceans, it will degrade faster.

In conclusion, plastics pollute our oceans and give some problems if nothing is done. But there are solutions for this problem. There are still things that we can do. And it’s up to us humans to solve this problem and make a better life for ourselves, other creatures, and oceans.
